Bump bump........ I wanted to test this.
Thanks for your thoughts. I refuse to quit in my search to find a doctor who will help, listen, and dx me. I have my days when I just can't take anymore but, I know at the end of the day its my health and my body. So, nobody nobody knows it better than me. I will also say that it helps to have a wonderful support system rooting you on..... At first when I got sick my husband wasn't able to deal or cope. And actually started blaming me. He is a man that is not real open when its comes to feeling. So, I would talk to him alittle bit each day not pushing the issue but, knowing he was listening. I assured him that I would tell him everything that was going on with me. Since, then he has become my rock in every was but, it was not easy in the beginning with a lot of fighting and space. Then realising we only had each other we needed to pull each other through this. Because, I believe when we get sick its not only hard on us but, also very hard on our loved ones. And, so I think that just because we r physically sick doesn't mean we can't emotionally help our family learn how to cope, deal, and even talking through a lot. I feel that communcation has to be your best friend when it comes to illness. If you can't communcate you can't be excepted to have a family that understands you.............. Support system is so important and can really impact how you look at life even in the worst situations.
Take care, God bless, And remain positive know that you are important. And derserve the best life can give you.

Heart, I love your spirit and the fact you continue to search. Never forget that part of yourself. It is too easy after years of doctors with no answers to give in. I wish I hadn't. My body is proof. But, you know, if doctor after doctor has no answers...You just decide to throw the towel in. I don't remember how many times I said, "This is not a little of this or that...or "This is no ordinary backache" only to be told surely it was all.
Keep searching. Don't stop until the dx makes total sense to you and matches your symptoms.
May the light of Buddha shine brightly within you.
